Hi all, I am looking for a Sierra Grande dashboard emblem for an 1981 year truck. I have seen a few turn up for sale however they are the older style badges, which look completely different. I know the 1981 style is unique and the last year of the Sierra Grande trim.

Does anyone have one like the picture attached or know anything about these?

As I said I have an earlier one (probably from a 1975, could share pics) if anyone wants to trade.

Good luck.
GMC stuff is less reproduced than Chebby. I wanted to make the blue truck a High Sierra but struck out.
The $100 plus just to get 3 cheapo Sierra Classic badges was enough!
I’ve only seen repop Sierra, Sierra Grande and Sierra Classic dash badges in my search.

Haha thanks yeah definitely uncommon to find and for whatever reason LMC and those places skipped over the Grande trim level (only making new Sierra, Classic, and High Sierra badges).

I was lucky enough to find a pair of 1981 Sierra Grande fender emblems for $40 though.

Appreciate it, and yeah I’d agree with you. Funny enough though I have stumbled across a few High Sierra dashboard emblems on eBay if anyone is looking for one.

I have a Bonanza edition, 1979 C10, Big 10, Short Bed. Try finding any of those Bonanza emblems! Luckily, I still have all mine and am restoring them.

I have all of mine, but they definitely need to be repainted.
